Some people think that they lack of opportunities, while others ink that everyone will face to some ones

May 31st,2010    by Ann

I agree to the latter.

In fact, we are living on the same world. Most of us must deal with a lot of things every day. Some people's circumstances are even e same, so do the opportunities. However, why some one can asp it but others cannot? All this depends on the careful observation and grasping the opportunity in time. For instance, we indent in our college, whose circumstances are the same. We all could study a lot of courses before we graduate. But some of us study rd in order to learn more and well, while some don't. In the end, the hard- working students get the better jobs. At that time, the are some students who have been playing all the time will say that they lack of opportunities, As we now know that the hard-working students make the better use of time and they observe everything around them carefully, so that they can grasp the opportunities time.

In a word, the opportunity is equal to everybody, and whether we can grasp it or not is critical.

INDIVIDUAL VISITS

May 29th,2010    by Ann

When you decide to travel, you write to the hostesses whose names you have selected from the membership list. We find the best friendships are made when members have taken time to correspond before travelling. We recommend that the first visit should be short, in case it is not what you expect: lifestyles can be very different from your own. The visitor should fit in with the hostess and be prepared toentertaia herself during the day if her hostess is working.

Soccer Moms

May 28th,2010    by Ann

Then I was a kid growing up in Ohio of the LISA. I never heard of soccer. In college I became aware of the sport, but it remained distant from my personal experience. Soccer was played by rich kids in schools. I thought, schools that tried to imitate an English-style education. I thought soccer was the sport of snobs. I was so provincial. I had no idea that soccer was a world-wide craze. '

Times have certainly changed. While traditional American sports like basketball, baseball, and football (American style) are still very popular, soccer is emerging very powerfully as a sport of choice in the younger generation. My grandsons, for example, are soccer players. So are two of my nieces. They all belong to organized soccer leagues and are chauffeured around by their mothers to soccer practice and soccer games, just as I was driven to baseball, basketball, and football practice. So widespread has this phenomenon become that newspapers and pollsters are now referring to the mothers of this.

The profile of a soccer mom is fairly easy to draw. Mainly they live in the suburbs and of course have a car (probably the family's second) in order to get their children not just to soccer practice, but to and from school, and to all the special classes and events these parents want their children to have. Soccer moms believe in education and that their children will grow up smarter and better if they have plenty of enriching experience— soccer, you see, is just part of the courses. For that reason, soccer moms spend a lot of time on the road, taking their kids to the next lesson, event, or performance.

Soccer moms, as a group, are well-educated and considered to be more liberal politically than their husbands. Therefore, they have become the object of a lot of attention from politicians who would like to have their votes. Some political theorists, for example, believe that the' vote of the "soccer moms" was significant in getting President Bill Clinton to the While house.

But mainly soccer moms live a family-oriented life" , and if they hold jobs, the jobs in most cases are secondary to their husband's jobs and are held to supplement them. They will spend the money they earn on their children- for more lessons, yes, but also for those soccer shoes, and that soccer uniform! I have an idea that in about ten years, when my grandsons and nieces are old enough to play soccer at a higher level, America will have forgotten "soccer moms." but everyone will know what soccer is.

For a New Position

May 27th,2010    by Ann

Dear Mrs. William,

I will assume the position of director of human resources for Exchange Square, in Baton Rouge. Therefore, please accept my resignation as benefits and compensation coordinator of the Human Resources Department within AAA Associates, effective September 30.

The decision was a difficult one for me because I have so enjoyed my working relationships here. The job description has given me great latitude in assisting other coordinators within the hu-man resource area, and as a result, I've gained skills in several related fields. These cross-train¬ing opportunities have been invaluable, and in a much more formal, classroom setting, I've been able to take advantage of classes in management, interpersonal skills, writing, and oral presenta¬tions. All of this training has been a worthwhile effort for both AAA and me.

As I go to the new position, I'll do so with the utmost respect for the management examples and philosophies learned here and with gratitude for the personal attention to my career growth.

Thank you for the rewarding experience I've enjoyed during my seven-year association with the organization.

Sincerely, Helen Teng

Felicia's Journey

May 26th,2010    by Ann

The sun is warm now, the water of the river undisturbed. Seagulls teeter on the parapet in front of her, boats go by. The line of trees that breaks the i monotony of the pavement is laden with leaves in shades of russet. Figures stride purposefully on a distant bridge, figures in miniature, creatures that could be unreal. Somewhere a voice is loud on a megaphone.She is not hungry. It will be a few hours before she begins to feel hungry and then there will be the throwaway stuff in the bins. The sky is azure, evenly blue, hardly faded at the edges at all. She moves a hand back and forth on a slat of the seat she is sitting on, her fingers caressing the smooth timber, the texture different where the paint has worn away. •

The gap left where a tooth was drawn a fortnight ago has lost its soreness.

She feels it with her tongue, pressing the tip of her tongue into the cavity, recalling the aching there has been. It was the Welshman, Davo, who said that. They went along together because he knew the way. "Not many would bother with your toothache," Davo said. Not many would think toothache would occur in a derelict's mouth. "You can always come back," the woman dentist said. "Don't be in pain." j

The woman dentist has dedicated her existence to the rotten teeth of derelicts, to derelicts' odor and filth. Her goodness is a great mystery. j

She turns her hands so that the sun may catch them differently, and slightly lifts her head to warm the other side of her face.

Mae Jemison

May 25th,2010    by Ann

Imagine you are lying on your back, strapped into a chair, with your knees bent in front of you. You feel your heart beating with excitement as you hear a voice on the earphone inside your helmet counting down slowly,

"Three, two, one," Then, beneath you, a deep rumble start as rocket fuel ignites in the huge engines. You feel a lurch1 as the docking mechanisms let go, and your rocket begins to rise.

This is the moment Mae Jemison has been waiting and working for since 1987. The first African-American female astronaut-in-training at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)2, Jemison is scheduled to "fly" in September 1992. She is to serve as a specialist on Spacelab—J, a joint Japanese-American research project.

Mae Jemison was thirty-three when she was selected for NASA's astronaut training program. Astronaut candidates must have science degree. They must be fit and healthy with normal blood pressure and good eyesight. They must stand between five feet and six feet four inches tall. They must complete a one-year training program that includes water-survival lessons and weightless walks in a huge antigravity tank.

On the 1991 mission, astronaut Jemison says that her "responsibility are to be familiar with the shuttle and how it operates, to do the experiments once you get into rabbit, to help launch the payloads3 or satellites, and also to do extra-vehicular activities, or space walks. "

How did Mae Jemison grow up to become such a special person?

Science—especially astronomy—fascinated her from childhood.

She also had a strong desire to help other people. Born in Ala bama, but raised in Chicago, she studied chemical engineering and African-American culture and history at Stanford University. To help others, she decided to become a doctor. While still a medical student, she went to Cuba and Kenya on study trips, then worked in a refugee4 camp in Thailand. She spent three years in West Africa as a doctor with the Peace Corps. When Dr. Jemison finally returned to the United States, she settled in California to practice medicine. And it was then that she decided to reach for the stars.

Mae Jemison's first application to NASA was not successful.

Then, in 1986, the Challenger space shuttle exploded, killing all

aboard5. NASA did not take in any new astronauts for about a year. When it finally reopened its application process, Mae Jemison was ready, and so was NASA. After being selected as a minority astronaut, Mae Jemison received a good deal of attention from newspaper and television. She explained to reporters that the space program and other fields in high technology offer promising careers for African-Americans and other minorities who study hard and make the most of their opportunities6.

With the development of technology, information becomes more and more numerous and complicated

May 24th,2010    by Ann

The factual information that is available to us is always some bits of fragments. All these small fragments, which are no clues and no main threads, always make us be unable to see the whole outline of the information. Because of this, we can't grasp firmly the entirety and will probably neglect some macro problems.

Let's see one of the problems that are caused by the Internet. Today, Internet, as a large informer, offers people too much latest and various information round world. For example, there are all kinds of discounted commodities on the Net. What the Net offers is just the alluring price that is much lower than the market price. People concentrate more on this small fragment information, neglecting a full-scale investigation and acquisition. They are so pleased with information that they select the goods, give an order and then pay for them on the Net. Unfortunately, when the people get what they purchased from the Net, they find that the quality of many commodities is not up to the required standard, and even more some of them are counterfeit.

So, when people focus more on details and fragments, they would suffer from the error caused by the piling of fragment information. In acquiring the information, we should integrate the fragments into a complete information structure, grasping more accurate and valid information.

COMMUNICATION AND LEGAL MESSAGES

May 22nd,2010    by Ann

What makes sense and is legal in one country may be illegal in another country. In the United States it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of race. sex. national origin, and age. Japanese, Latin American, and many European job advertisements, in contrast, may specify the preferred age and sex of a potential employee. For example, job ads for office staff in Mexico frequently mention that the applicants must be attractive young females. Japanese companies may say that they are looking for female employee between the ages of 20 and 24. When establishing corporate policies relating to employment, managers must have an understanding of how the laws of the countries they are working in will influence those policies.

Legal systems come out of cultural values. Laws do not develop in isolation; they are culture-bound. As a result, laws relating to the hiring and firing of employees, property, contracts, dispute settlement, and ownership have cultural roots. The way these laws are formulated, communicated, and enforced is influenced by the communication patterns and priorities of a culture. At the same time, the legal system also acts as a stimulus for gradually changing cultural values. The point is that managers working and communicating with employees from different cultures and engaging in international business should have at least some understanding of the legal systems of the countries they are dealing with. That does not mean managers must be international lawyers, but it does mean that they need to be familiar with basic legal concepts and must know when to call in the legal experts.

Legal systems are territorial. Laws apply to a particular jurisdiction, and typically lawyers are educated in a particular kind of law. Australian lawyers are educated in Australian law. If they work for an international firm, they bring their background in Australian law. When a dispute with a French firm comes up, they do not automatically know what the French legal situation is. In that case the Australian firm may hire a French law firm to interpret French law. The problem is that the French lawyers know French law but not Australian law. To the challenges of intercultural communication are added the challenges of different legal systems.

A French lawyer has no problems discussing aspects of French law with another French lawyer. They speak the same language, have the same cultural background, and have had similar legal training. This scenario changes dramatically if the French lawyer must explain a French legal concept to a business lawyer from Sydney, Australia. The two lawyers speak different languages, have different cultural backgrounds, and have been educated in two very different legal systems.

To avoid serious misinterpretation and miscommunication the lawyers may use a type of back translation. Back translation, as was discussed in Chapter 2, frequently is used when questionnaires are translated from one language into another to ensure accuracy. Lawyers can use the same techniques. After the French lawyer has explained the French legal situation, the Australian can back translate the explanation to the French to ensure understanding. Rephrasing the same question using different formulations and seeing whether the answers are essentially the same can bring out possible difficulties and misunderstandings.

However, back translation does not guarantee effective communication. For example, the term force majeure is part of the legal language in both France and Australia. Both sides may use it assuming that the other side understands the phrase as intended. To minimize misunderstandings in the communication process, both sides must ask questions and probe for hidden meanings or different meanings.

When Rene Chretien from Lyon and William Brandon from Sydney discuss a business contract , they cannot just look at the literal meaning of force majeure. Literally the term means "superior or irresistible force." In the Anglo legal system the term refers to forces of nature or possibly war. The implications are that the terms of a contract may be changed because risk was not allocated in either the expressed or the implied terms of the contract.
